Title: Materials Data on Li3Zn by Materials Project

Abstract

Li3Zn is Uranium Silicide-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Li is bonded to eight equivalent Li and four equivalent Zn atoms to form distorted LiLi8Zn4 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent ZnLi12 cuboctahedra, corners with fourteen equivalent LiLi8Zn4 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent ZnLi12 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve equivalent LiLi8Zn4 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent ZnLi12 cuboctahedra, and faces with sixteen equivalent LiLi8Zn4 cuboctahedra. There are a spread of Li–Li bond distances ranging from 2.79–2.98 Å. There are two shorter (2.84 Å) and two longer (2.89 Å) Li–Zn bond lengths. Zn is bonded to twelve equivalent Li atoms to form ZnLi12 cuboctahedra that share corners with six equivalent ZnLi12 cuboctahedra, corners with twelve equivalent LiLi8Zn4 cuboctahedra, edges with eighteen equivalent LiLi8Zn4 cuboctahedra, faces with eight equivalent ZnLi12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent LiLi8Zn4 cuboctahedra.
